Jordan Henderson response to Roy Keane rant spoke volumes about player he was destined to become at Liverpool

It was just a few weeks after Jordan Henderson’s 18th birthday when he was confronted by one of the most intimidating sights in football.

A snarling, angry Keane is surely the last thing any young hopeful wants to be subjected to, particularly when he is your manager and you've just lost in abject fashion to a side over 100 places below you in the rankings of English football, but then Henderson has always been built of stronger stuff than your average teenage fledgling.
